Thanks so much Tiny, and I should clarify what (or why) I was asking that. I wasn’t asking it in the sense of, "Hey, is the right thing to do?" That, as you say, can most certainly only come from me. And you’re right, I have decided to try my best to taper off of this as well so that I can gauge the pain.

The reason I was asking was in the sense of WDs. Does that schedule seem reasonable to avoid the withdrawals from the Oxy that the Sub prevented as well as WDs that would occur with coming off of Sub. I don’t know if you’re dependence on Sub, when initially taking it and using it to get through the opiate WDs, is then equal to the dependence you had on that opiate or not. If it is, then I don’t know if that schedule is too fast. It it isn’t, then that schedule shouldn’t be too fast.

And something else I’m going to watch for as I do it – if while tapering off of the Sub I find myself "craving" Oxy (not for pain but just for it alone), then I know I have a much more deeply rooted issue to address along with the pain.

I apologize, it did sound like I was nearly asking for confirmation that I was making the right decision to use the Sub as a detox tool and taper off it as well. I was asking more if the methodology is sound.

Oh, and no matter what, your advice on the 24mg even if for some reason I stay on it is well taken and already decided – I don’t want to mess around and be on a high dose of this stuff too. If not dependent during this detox upon it, at some point I would be and certainly don’t want to make that horse any larger to ride than it has to be.
